Voting is open until tomorrow night (Monday) at 9 p.m. for Week 9 of LJ Idol Friends & Rivals (therealljidol).

Because of the way the voting is structured this season, your votes can go a long way to save your favorite writers. The teams' scores are averaged out, and only the lowest teams will lose somebody. My team, Team Geek Squad, took some chances this week by writing some experimental pieces, including two poems, so we can definitely use the support. Please read my teammates' work, as well as my own, and if you like them, vote for all of us.

Plus, my competitors have some truly fabulous work this week, as well! Check it out and vote for your favorites:
